So I'm now seeing that once he is officially re-instated on Monday they will have until March 12th to re-negotiate a contract if they want to retain him. So in theory he could renegotiate down to the vet minimum of just over 700K. Under those circumstances I'd say that is a low-risk/high-reward situation provided he is in reasonable physical condition.

Aaron's deal is the most important and should get done first. If Aaron gives us a team friendly deal like Tom Brady then we'll have more flexibility and if commands more than Flacco then more money management will need to occur.

I trust Aaron to not be a total douche. If he really wanted to he could probably demand $25M and what could we do? We'd HAVE to pay him. If we get him for about the same as Brees and Flacco, he's being generous.

I think Aaron will be looking more for a big guaranteed number (70 or 75 million) rather than a huge yearly salary like Flacco's deal

How bout that.
Jenkins missed nothing in 2 years after leaving our strength & conditioning program, while his replacements like Worthy & Neal both suffered serious injuries, along with half of our front 7.

With free agency starting up soon one guy that I really want and think would take our offence to another leavel is Reggie Bush. Hes had two pritty decent seanson in Miami and he can catch the ball. He's by far way better than ne RB we have. What r ur guys thoughts

I am a huge Reggie Bush fan, but I feel like he has priced himself out of Green Bay. It had been reported that TT was a huge fan of his during the draft and there was a botched trade with NO for Javon Walker. I personally would like to see either Ced Benson back or Stephen Jackson for cheap. I might be in the minority, but I like our RB's. I just freaking wish Starks would stay healthy. He is a quasi-AP type RB where he wants to put the hurt on the defense. I also think he is going to feel the pressure as this season is do or die for him. I think there is enough competition within our RB group that we will finally have a solid run game next season.

Dolphins just re-signed Hartline for $31 million and there has been talk that their top target is Wallace not Jennings. I wonder how much interest Greg is really getting if Philbin,who knows him better than anyone, has basically said he doesn't view him as a #1 anymore. Could this be another James Jones situation where he ends up back in Green Bay?

It's a possibility. Greg has stated that he wants to play somewhere warm or end up back in Green Bay.

Why? It's not like he pissed on a picture of Lombardi or something. The Packers weren't going to offer him what he wanted. If nobody else does, then what's the harm if he comes back?

If his heart is on the team, and not the money... of course.
But way too many times I have seen players become too focused on the money/business end of things.
Have you not seen this in sports, many times?

I find it endlessly adorable when people pretend that playing professional sports should be some sort of honor instead of a job. When Aaron Rodgers gets the biggest contract in the history of the NFL sometime in the next year, will you call him out, too? I mean, ****. By this rationale, they should just play for room and board.

i'm sorry, but you may not value your body as much as the other.

I bet it's really nice being Collins, Murphy, etc...
